Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfortable zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30 year old man. Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “ makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything.” He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
1．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

D．it will finally build your character

One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
I_believe_a_common_(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.
5．The cries of American and Chinese babies are ________.

A．some teachers didn’t teach students to think in English
B．teachers never gave the students the way of learning English
C．students didn’t remember the way teachers taught them
D．teachers didn’t want their students to think in English
7．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”．
A．Chinese students B．English students
C．Chinese teachers D．English teachers
8．According to the article, which of the following is TRUE
A．You must think in English all the time.
B．You should always translate English into Chinese.
C．After speaking English for a long time, you may probably think in English naturally (自然地)．

Michael J. “Crocodile Dundee”(also called Mick), played by Paul Hogan, is the main character in the fictional Crocodile Dundee film series consisting of Crocodile Dundee, Crocodile Dundee Ⅱ， and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. The character is a crocodile hunter, hence the nickname.
In the first film, Crocodile Dundee, Mick is visited by a New York reporter, Sue Charlton, who travels to Australia to investigate a report she heard of a crocodile hunter, who had his leg bitten off by a crocodile in the outback. The hunter supposedly walked more than a hundred miles back to civilization and miraculously survived his injuries. However, by the time she meets him, the story turns out to be a somewhat exaggerated legend where the “bitten off leg” turns out to be just being some bad scarring on his leg; a “love bite” as Mick calls it. Still interested by the idea of “Crocodile Dundee”， Sue continues with the story. They travel together out to where the incident occurred, and follow his route through the bush to the nearest hospital. Despite his old fashioned views, the pair eventually become close, especially after Mick saves Sue from a crocodile attack.
Feeling there is still more to the story, Sue invites Mick back to New York with her, as his first trip to a city (or “first trip anywhere”， as Dundee says). The rest of the film depicts Dundee as a “fish out of water”， showing how, despite his expert knowledge of living outdoors, he knows little of city life. Mick meets Sue’s boyfriend, Richard, but they do not get along. By the end of the film, Mick is on his way home, lovesick, when Sue realizes she loves Mick, too, and not Richard. She runs to the subway station to stop Mick from leaving and, by passing on messages through the packed to the gills crowd, she tells him she won’t marry Richard, and she loves him instead. With the help of the other people in the subway, Mick and Sue have a loving reunion as the film ends.
9．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mick
A．He is a crocodile hunter living in Los Angeles.
B．He is based on a real person in Australia.
C．He got his nickname because of his job.
D．He wrote a film series about himself.
10．When in New York, Mick ________.
A．makes friends with Richard
B．makes full use of his bush skills
C．feels excited about living in a big city
D．doesn’t know how to fit into city life
11．The film Crocodile Dundee can be best described as a(n) ________.
A．romantic story B．action movie
C．science fiction D．frightening story

Are people less happy or more happy the older they get A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the age of 18 and 85.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions (消极情绪) were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well being related to age.
So why would happiness increase with age One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
The original (最初的) goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
12．Old people may be happier probably because ________.
A．their children have grown up
B．they don’t have to work every day
C．they can do whatever they like best
D．they are most likely satisfied with life
13．According to the survey, when will adults feel most stressful
A．In their twenties.
B．In their fifties.
C．In their seventies.
D．In their eighties.
14．What may make Arthur Stone a bit surprised
A．Women usually live longer than men.
B．Middle age men mostly are very rich.
C．Old people usually have a better sleep.
D．Most of old people can’t sleep well at night.
15．Which of the following may be the topic of this passage
A．The difference between men and women.
B．Old people’s feeling of happiness.
C．The young people and the old people.
D．The connection of sleep and happiness.

An Unforgettable Trip
Last summer, I went to Dalian with my family, which is a beautiful and modern coast city.
First we took the bus to the Sea Park. There were so many kinds of animals that I couldn’t believe my eyes. Having seen the show of dolphins, we had lunch in a restaurant whose seafood was delicious.
After lunch we went swimming. The sea was blue and the beach was golden, so we enjoyed ourselves in the sea, we also went to some interesting and famous places in Dalian.
I like this trip, and I hope that I can go there again when I have free time.
